WHAT RIVAROXABAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Rivaroxaban contains the active substance rivaroxaban.
Rivaroxaban is used in adults to:
-
prevent blood clots in brain (stroke) and other blood vessels in your
body if you have a form of
irregular heart rhythm called non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
-
treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis) and
in the blood vessels of your
lungs (pulmonary embolism), and to prevent blood clots from
re-occurring in the blood vessels of
your legs and/or lungs.
Rivaroxaban is used in children and adolescents below 18 years and
with a body weight of 30 kg or
more to:
-
treat blood clots and prevent re-occurrence of blood clots in the
veins or in the blood vessels of the
lungs, following initial treatment of at least 5 days with injectable
medicines used to treat blood
clots.
Rivaroxaban belongs to a group of medicines called antithrombotic
agents. It works by blocking a
blood clotting factor (factor Xa) and thus reducing the tendency of
the blood to form clots.
